Text and lines

Text in lines.

Previously some years ago Archicad had the ability to add text in lines such as FW or SW. This can be added via 2D line work or some text not reading any data as it is a 2D line. Would anyone find this useful to identify new foul drainage or surface water drainage runs? Again back to a black and white drawing issue at tender, construction and Building control submission. Domestic clients don't want to pay for coloured plans for their extensions.

Coloured plans are great in the first stages, visualization and planning stages. Can assist in clarity in construction but added costs.

I am confused by your wish.

It is titled text in lines - which can already be done by creating a symbol line type.

There are default text lines in the standard template.

Is this what you mean?

Then you start talking about coloured plans.

This has nothing to do with text in lines?

Please only one wish per post so people know what they are voting for..

Out of the box lines when creating a symbol line you cannot use/add text. Text is generated by drawing the shape with 2D lines. Hence E is created by 4 2D lines then another line to represent the line.

So you want editable text in the lines?

I am happy adding text via 2D lines. Just wondered if anybody would like to see this feature in Archicad.
